I've actually been working on reworking the overall ACP UI and UX in the past months (goal is for 3.3 obviously). The general setup is not final and I'll talk about it soon in a separate topic.

What I'm currently using for the ACP is a Bootstrap base. There are two SCSS files that are compiled using Gulp, combined with the bootstrap scss file, and minified into one stylesheet CSS. You can find a current working copy of that in my repository:https://github.com/marc1706/phpbb/tree/ ... p_redesign

Current repsonsive view with sidebar:
I do also agree that we should try to move forward from prosilver, something we probably should've already targeted for 3.1. There are a lot of new tools and design approaches out there nowadays. We should take these opportunities and improve the usabilitiy and overall look of phpBB on the frontend. hanakin has already put some thought into this and I think with the community we'll be able to create something that will put phpBB into the current times.

Personally I cannot see anything wrong with the current ACP - OK it could perhaps do with a "freshen up" with a change of colours. And no disrespect to Marc but I just do not like that layout.

My big concern with all of this change to styles is the impact that it is going to have on extensions - unless there is the facility to have some backwards compatibility, or an option to use the "new" or "old" ACP style then many extensions may not work
